On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

Chapter 193 Unbelievable

As soon as Zhuzi on the other side returned home, he happily called out to the yard, "Grandpa, Grandpa."

Old man Zhang was cleaning the pen. When he heard his grandson calling him, he looked up and saw that his grandson had brought back all the sheep that he had taken out to sell today.

He was slightly disappointed, but he didn't want the child to see his disappointment, so he smiled and said, "Zhu Zi is back. I left some porridge for you in the kitchen. Go and eat it!"

At this time, Zhuzi no longer thought about eating. He ran to his grandfather with excitement and said excitedly: "Grandpa, I will sell all our sheep!"

Old man Zhang wanted to comfort the child, but the words on his lips stopped. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked in disbelief, "What, what did you say?"

He asked anxiously, "Did you get cheated by someone?"

In his opinion, who would want so many sheep at once in such a year?

He stamped his feet and asked anxiously, "How can you be so bold, kid? How did you negotiate the price? How much did you get pushed down?"

Since there were only two of them left in their family, with little land and limited labor, Old Man Zhang thought of raising some sheep.

These sheep are important assets to sustain their livelihood for the whole year. If they are sold at a low price, how will they survive the whole year?

Seeing Grandpa's anxious look, Zhuzi knew that Grandpa had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "I didn't lower the price, not even a penny.

"It's just that the other party wants us to help kill the sheep and send it over after processing it. Moreover, the lady also said that she would keep the sheepskin for us as a reward."

Old man Zhang had a look of anxiety on his face, and when he heard his grandson's words, his expression changed in no time.

He just opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a word.

Seeing this, Zhuzi continued, "Moreover, the lady saw that I was just a child and was worried that I couldn't make the decision, so she asked me to come back and tell Grandpa that if I was willing to do this business, I would go to Liu'er Hutong in the city tomorrow to sign the contract. She also wanted to give us a deposit first!"

Old man Zhang exhaled a breath of turbid air and asked in disbelief, "Is there really such a good thing?"

Zhuzi nodded his head quickly, "Grandpa, if you don't believe me, go ask Uncle Jin. Uncle Jin also wants to sell sheep to Madam, but Madam said that she can't order too many sheep at once for the time being. Madam also advised Uncle Jin not to worry, and the market for mutton will get better in a few days."

Old man Zhang did not dare to agree with this. Once a disaster occurred, it would be good if the court was willing to order disaster relief. But if the court just let it go and did nothing, the areas affected by the disaster would only become more and more chaotic. How could stability be achieved?

The reason why there were only two people left in his family was because all his family members died in war and famine.

He was an old man and had experienced such cholera personally, so he was even more anxious.

His death is not a pity, but if he were gone, how would his grandson, who is not even twenty years old, survive?

Old man Zhang temporarily suppressed the thoughts that were surging in his heart. He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "You go eat and rest first. I will go find your uncle Jin. We can ask him to take us into the city tomorrow morning."

Seeing that he had persuaded his grandfather, Zhuzi happily agreed.

That night, Old Man Zhang was both nervous and expectant. He tossed and turned for most of the night and got up when the rooster crowed.

He first went to the kitchen to light a fire and cook porridge. When the wild vegetable porridge in the pot was boiling, he went to the room to wake up his grandson, "Zhu Zi, wake up, get up and wash up."

Zhuzi was woken up by his grandfather. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and waited for a while. After his mind became clear, he remembered that he had to go to the provincial capital with his grandfather to sell sheep today.

He sat up from the bed, grabbed the clothes beside the bed and put them on.

When Old Man Zhang saw that his grandson had woken up, he went back to the sheep pen to feed them. After a busy day, a faint light appeared in the sky.

The grandfather and grandson came to Zhang Jin's house, and Zhang Jin had just harnessed the donkey cart and was ready to set off.

Before leaving, Old Man Zhang still reminded his nephew and his wife to help look after the house.

Zhang Jin's wife naturally agreed readily.

The relationship between the two families is actually very close. Zhang Jin calls Old Man Zhang "uncle". The two families support each other on weekdays. If it weren't for the years of disaster, Old Man Zhang's sheep would have been sold to his nephew.

The sheep raised by his nephew's family have not yet been sold, so he doesn't want to make things difficult for the other party to sell the sheep to him again.

With a donkey cart as their means of transportation, the group arrived at the city gate at around 1 a.m.

The team wanting to enter the city had already lined up in front of the city gate.

One gate is for vehicles and the other is for pedestrians.

Because the queue was very orderly, the speed of entering the city was also very fast. In just half a quarter of an hour, Zhang Jin was able to enter the city.

Zhang Jin first sent the two to the entrance of Liuer Hutong, pointed to a house with a willow tree in front of the door and said to them: "Uncle, I will send you here. That family is the buyer. You can talk first. If you are undecided, come to the meat market to find me."

The grandfather and grandson jumped off the donkey cart, and Old Man Zhang waved to his nephew, "Go ahead. It's not good to delay the business if you're late."

Zhang Jin didn't dare to delay the business, so he waved the reins and drove towards the meat market.

Now that the weather is getting hotter, people in the city also like to go out for shopping in the cool early morning. He doesn't want to miss the opportunity to solicit business by going too late.

The grandfather and grandson walked to the door, but hesitated and did not open it. Zhuzi raised his hand and it hovered in the air for a long time. He turned his head and said hesitantly: "Grandpa, will we disturb the master's rest if we come so early?"

Old man Zhang glared, "Didn't you ask about the specific time yesterday?"

Zhuzi scratched his head, thought for a long time, and finally shook his head.

Old man Zhang sighed. After all, he was just a child and didn’t think some things through carefully.

It's so early in the morning, the head of the family might not have gotten up yet. It is really inappropriate to come and ask for a meeting so rashly.

Old man Zhang found a big rock in front of the door and sat down. "Let's wait until they open the door."

In fact, Song Xile had already gotten up and was instructing the cook what vegetables to buy today.

After receiving Song Xile's instructions, the cook was about to go out with the basket. When the door opened, she instantly saw the grandparents and grandchildren sitting on the big rock in front of the door.

Old man Zhang was feeling anxious at the moment, and when he saw the door open, he quickly pulled his grandson up and went to greet the guests.

He smiled flatteringly and said, "Auntie, we are here to sell sheep to the owner. This is my grandson. The owner told him yesterday."

The cook then looked at the young man and recognized him at a glance.

She was also present yesterday, so she knew about the deal between Madam Song and the young man.

She didn't dare to neglect it, and said quickly: "Wait a minute, I will talk to my wife first."

Seeing that the other party was so easy to talk to, Old Man Zhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
